Institute For Advanced Study
After World War II Goldstine joined von Neumann and Burks at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton where they built a computer referred to as the IAS machine. Goldstine was appointed assistant director of the project and director after 1954.
The IAS machine influenced the design of IBM's early computers, through von Neumann who was a consultant to IBM. When von Neumann died in 1958, the IAS computer project terminated. Goldstine went on to become the founding director of the Mathematical Sciences Department at IBM's Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York.
